Brave Old Massachusetts.
Considering the great service Hon. I
B. F. Butler rendered the Nation du-j
ring the Rebellion and his Avonder-!
ful energy and familiarity Avith all j
the motives that influence the multi-;
tilde, it would not have surprised!
outsiders if he had captured the Pil
grim ('ommonwcalth.
But every child goes to school in i
Massachusetts ami every voter reads!
the news, so every Republican knew !
that Butler was the embodiment of,
tin- worst element of the Republican
party; and outside of the cities he
had no strength. The rural districts
sent their best men as delegates to j
the State Convention, men of integ
rity, intelligence and backbone, who j
were determined to place the part\ !
in the most advanced position as the j
champion of all that is best in states-!
mairdiip. These men chose for Pres
ident of the Convention a sturdy rep-j
rcseiitat've of the integrity of the
state as well as an opponent of But-i
ler and his low standard of political !
ci hies.
Ex-Gov. Bullock, on taking his j
seat as President of tire State Con- j
volition, made a speech that will cheer j
the heart of all honest men through-j
out the nation and will he of great J
service to tire cause of good govern-j
ment.
We have room for only the follow-'
ing extracts:
It is in the year succeeding an elec- ;
tion of President that men feel the i
strings of party loosening from their'
limb., exercise more freely their own
choice and judgment and organize!
within their own minds ideas as to j
per-<>ns and politics,and adininistra-j
tions. What shall happen at the
next quadrennial election depends j
much upon what is promulgated and
more upon what, is done in the inter
val by authorized and oflicial public
agents. While this is in a degree
true immediately after any inaugura- 1
tion of the President, it is especially i
and significantly trueatthistime. The
Republican party came out of the last
canvass with very large majorities—
partly because of the absence of a
united and homogeneous opposing
party; in part because of a more gen
eral belief of their promises of reform
than of the same promises made by
their opponents; partly because of
the power of public patronage, which
l.as been unduly exercised by ewery
administration since that of John
(juiney Adams; in part because a
practical ami commercial people are
slow to change their government in
a period of material prosperity; and,
above all. I apprehend, because of the
confidence which the country had in
the plain, modest, robust character
of the President. * * *
Our party, then, Avhich is strong
in its recent majorities, strong in the
memories of the heroic time so lately
pnsied, strong in many a Senator and
R pi< mutative who bears about him
no odor of suspicion and strong in
its |'i -ulcnt, who stands the hard
* ' ' iii ik.ibly well, has the weak
-1 • •" hi' i one * from its prolonged
l or.i tnxjij of it - former issues
i bug, from vices nursed first
UiiwiUingh and 'hen tolerated nn
willingly, from the possibilities of di
versions in a general curiosity for
new agitations and new departures,
; from the suspicions cherished by a
i stern and just people that where there
was so much smoke of investigation
1 there must be some fire of truth. And
now is the hour, nor one hour too
i soon, to arrest the tendency and cor
rect the abuses wherever they may
be found.
—
LUNATIC.
The authorities say that the idea
of mental aberration being connected
with the moon or the periods of its
change was long since exploded. We
have no fault to find with science,
neither, probably, has the moon, but
it seems no wonder that in former
times, when we were all groping a
little more blindly, perhaps,than now,
after the reasons of things, something
of bewildering power M as thought to
belong to the pale, beautiful light
that soothes and excites, saddens and
exhilarates our spirits by turns. No
one, of all the many who look out on
a still, bright moon shiny night, but
feels a thrill of something never ex
perienced at other times: no two, per
haps, ever feel it just the same and
rarely any one attempts to express
or describe the influence that rests
1
upon him.
But the silvery light and the dark
fringed shadows, flowers all colorless,
trees all dark, have suddenly trans
formed the familiar home-scenes into
a mono-chromatic picture; a picture
whispering to the wind, or murmur
ing with insect life, or rustling with
the start and scamper of the smaller
quadrupeds, or the slow steps and |
gentle 100 of some larger ones, gives ;
one a strange feeling of something'
peculiar and new. However often it
occurs, however cloudless are th •
skies and however unoccupied our
hours, the singular scene, and more
singular-effect, never wear out. It is
ever recurring with its wierd charm |
and we welcome it, however pressing
may he the need that takes us from
quiet rest out into the illuminated
world, as a token—an indication of j
changes that may be just as near,;
just as easy and just as strange that
might come over our home life, by ;
natural causes, and open to us an en- j
tirely new understanding of all we see
and hear.
There are other sorts of moonlight j
—what the Scotch call "glamour"—
that spreads over our perceptions,
both inward and outward; comes not j
always from the moon (unless there i
lie'many moons) but from sources
sometimes as far beyond our reach
or power to resist. Perhaps it is not
meant to be resisted but to have its
influence over us for a time, as the
moon does, and have, like that, its
memory and its effect. We wake to
the bright light and clear vision of
the morning, the better, perhaps, for
i our brief life under another aspect,
an alteration which light and shade j
| can bring without a varying form or;
! the slightest change of locality. What
1 we may sec, from just one point, with
j these open human eyes we can never
measure or explore to its limits: how .
much, then, may our inner eyes take |
! in from the narrowest outlook if we j
• but heed all the changes that fall. !
I
IT IS curious to notice how adverti.se
j inents are disguised and sugar-coated
jat the present day. One thinks that he
; he's found something wonderful, but
| discovers that he is reading the well
| known fact that lloyit & Lewis are
I still selling Dry Goods. — Wdlsville
i Times.
Yes, and extremely provoking, as
well as curious. One has perhaps
but little time to read. He takes up
a paper and looks eagerly over it for
the latest and most important news;
: A glowing title takes his eye, he
stops, rises, turns the paper carefully
and folds it in the right position to
find that he has only got a miserable
adverlisment of hair oil or sapolio,
I kuitting machine or shoe-shop.
Or some one is anxious for the
first ship news, for a friend has gone
who may never come back; an inva
lid brother may be out on the waters
seeking health in foreign airs. But
you find yourself reading where you
may buy tacks or sell coal oil.
You look for scientific facts and
discoveries or benevolent move
ments, and find yourself reading
about sewing machines or some of
tlic infallible "bitters" whose name is
a .hundred legions. They are very
vexatious.
"CRAMBO."
i Mrs. Whitney in some of her sto
ries tells how to play a game with
the above name. As some of our
readers may not know how it is done
we copy the directions:
Let each of the company write a
question and a word on separate
-lips of paper. Put all the questions
in a hat, basket, or something, and
all the words in an other; shake them
up and pass them round; each per
son draw one of each, and writes his
answer to the question in verse and
uses the word he has drawn in his
answer.
This looks as though it would be
j very difficult,.but it is not; and it is
extremely amusing. The doing it in
; verse, instead of a difficulty, is really
a help, as you can often get a trouble
some word in by some transposition
that would hardly be allowable in
prose. And as no one is expected to
write a poem and the more ridiculous
the answer is the better, it is a very
laughable as well as very intelligent
amusement.
Gov. NOYES, of Ohio, gives the
following in a recent speech at Ath
ens, Ohio:
BACK SALARY.— And there is no dif
ference of opinion as to the character
of that legislation, by which Congress
men not only increased their future
compensation one-half but also pro
vided for back pay at the same rate.
Both the Democratic and Republican
platforms condemn this action in un
mistakable terms. There is but one
: sentiment regarding it among the
people. A repeal of the law is de
manded. Now, my friends, it is
sometimes fair to hold that party re
sponsible for legislation which has a
majority "in the legislative body;
sometimes this is unfair, as I will en
deavor to show: Suppose there were
two hundred members of Congress,
one hundred and one Republicans,
and ninety-nine Democrats, and two
Republicans voted with the ninety
nine Democrats to secure the passage I
of a bill, would the Republican party
then be responsible? Yet they had j
in the case supposed a majority of
the members. Let us now consider
for a moment the vote by which
the back salary measure became a
law.
In the Senate it was as follows:
Republican Senators for the bill 23;
Republican Senators against the bill 21 .
Democratic Senators for the bill 12 i
Democratic Senators against the bill 6 '
Republican outgoing Senators for the bill 5:
Democratic outgoing Senators for llie bill S j
Southern Senators for tin- bill 26 j
Northern Senators for the hill 10 ■
Southern Senators against the bill 3 !
Northern Senators against the bill 24
In tDe House of Representatives
as follows:
Republican Representatives for the bill 52 !
Republican Representatives against the bill.. 62
Democratic Representatives for the bill 50 i
Democratic Representatives against the bill.. 33
Outgoing members, D. and R.. for the bi11... .">5
Southern Republicans for the bill 24
Southern Democrats for the hill 30 ;
The united vote of both Houses •
was—
Republican members and Senators for the bill 75 :
Republican members anil Senators against
the W.I 83 |
Democratic members and Senators for the
bill 63
Democratic members and Senators against
the bill 39
Outgoing Senators and members for the bill.. 65

Sales of Liquor by Druggists.
Judge Dean, at the recent term of j
tiie Blair county, Pa., court, in sen
tencing the Tyrone druggists, for sell
ing liquor without license, took oc
casion to remark substantially as fol
lows :
"Druggists are authorized to soil
liquor tor medical purposes, subject
however, to the risk of indictment.j
A physician's prescription is not of l
itself a safeguard for the druggist.!
If the latter, even on the prescription !
of a regular physician, sells liquor to
persons of known intemperate habits,
or to those who are known to use
liquor as a beverage, he is liable to I
indictment, and if found guilty will!
be punished to the extent of the law. j
In short, in the opinion of the Court.;
a druggist who sells liquor for any j
purpose whatever, or upon the pre- j
scription of the most eminent pby- j
sician in the county, does so at his:
own risk.— Philadelphia Ledger.
THE platform of the Ohio Bour- j
bons, wlilch has since been adopted j
j by the Democrats of several other j
states, contains, among other teat
ures, the refreshing assertion that
"we (the Democratic party) have al
ways been opposed to gifts of land to
corporations." It is interesting to
compare this assertion with the his
toric fact that the first land grant to
a railway corporation was made by
| the Democratic party, and was engi
neered by Stephen A. Douglass. This .
was in 1850, and the grant gave more |
than two and a-half millions of acres
of the public land to the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad Co. From 1850 to 1857
the Democratic party made forty-five
distinct land grants to railroad cor
porations, comprising in all nearly
20,000,000 acres. Two-thirds of these
land grants were made during a
single session of Congress in 1856,
under Pierce's administration. The
intelligent student of our political
history will understand from these
statements what the actual policy of
the Democ r atie party is, as concerns
land grants. If again in power that
party would donate the public do
main as freely as ever. Its present
i holy horror of land grants and rail
way monopolies is the purest "bun
combe."—Boston Journal.
A Safer Transmission of Registered
Letters.
The safe transmission of registered
mail matter has been one of the pro
blems which have puzzled postmas
ter-generals since postmaster-generals
first became functionaries of public
importance. The present system is
jin one respect crude. Having been
; receipted for and registered by the
railway postal clerk, the package is
subsequently mixed with the other
mail matter, being subject to no spe
cial precaution in transitum. It is
natural to suppose that great losses
! should have accompanied this sys
' tern, since it offers no special safe
| guard to the matter pending trans
mission, but on the other hand noti
ties dishonest clerks that the regis
| tered matter is valuable.
It is now proposed to send all
through registered mail matter in
special registered bags, postal clerks
henceforth giving receipts for them
j without any knowledge of their con
| tents, and the postmasters at distrib
! uting stations only having keys to
j the special bags, two thousand of
j which have, it is announced, been
ordered by the Postoffice Depart
ment. This is a very simple device
for safety, and one which will, no
doubt, work well, even in the present
somewhat unsatisfactory condition of
the civil service.
The business of the Register De
! partment for the last fiscal year has,
according to report, amounted to
nearly a quarter of a million ($227,-
000), of which more than one-third
($85,000) was net profit, and lienee
can afford to institute measures to
secure greater safety.—Evening
| Post.
The Jubilee Singers.
Our young colored friends have
again received flattering attentions in
England.
On the 14th of July, at a lunch
given by the Right Hon. W. E. and
.Mrs. Gladstone, to the Prince and
Princess of Wales; there were also
present, as reported by the Daily
Telegraph , London:
'•Her Imperial Highness the grand
Duchess Czarevna, Jlis Royal High
ness the Duke of Cambridge, bin Ex
cellency Count Beust, the Duke and
Duchess of Buccleuch, the Duke of
Sutherland, Earl Granville, the
Countess Spencer, the Bishop of
Winchester, the Right Hon. John
Bright, Mr. Motley, his Excellency

Ailesbury, the Marquis and .Marchi
oness del Grillo, the Earl and Count
ess Stanhope, Viscount and Vis
countess Sydney, Lord Richard Cav-!
endish, Lord Charles Scott, Lady
Molesworth, and others."
The Jubilee Singers were present j
by request, "to chant, :i grace." They j
also sang several sacred and occa
sional songs during the afternoon.)
"John Brown" v,as repeated at tie
request ot the Prince of Wales, and j
"No More Auction Block for Me,'"!
was sung at his request.
Mr. Gladstone addressed the fol
lowing letter to Mr. I'ike:
11 Carlton House Terrace.
Dear Sir: I beg you to accept the as-;
surancesof the great pleasure which t lie j
.Tubilet Singers gave on Monday to our j
illustrious guests and to all who heard !
them.
L should wish to offer a little present |
of books in acknowledgment of their j
kindness, aiul in connection with their j
purposes, as they have been announced, |
of their visit to England.
It lias occurred to me that perhaps
they might like to breakfast with us— •
my family and a very few friends ; but j
I would not ask this, unless it is tlior- j
oughly agreeable to thorn. With the |
Singers, who X believe are eleven, we i
would of course, hope to see, you and ,•
Mr. White. 1 would propose Tuesday j
next, the 22nd, and ten as the time.
Believe me. Dear Sir,
Your very faithful servant,
Win. E. GLADSTONE.
Rev. G. D. PIKE.
Mr. Tike says: If the Premier of
the United Kingdom ean invite "nig- j
gers" to sit and eat with him, cannot 1
the common folk of America pause '
and ask if their prejudices are not j
foolish, to sav the least?
We earnestly hope that our young
friends may be able to retain the j
simple modesty and propriety of be- j
havior which won them so many ;
friends here: and be enabled again I
to enter upon their studies to pre
pare them for still higher useful
ness.
For the Journal & Item.
Serving For Rachel.
We read that on a certain time
some years since, a very likely, prom
ising lad by the name of Jacob, a
direct descendant of good old Abra
ham, to whom was the promise of
many blessings, went to seek bis for
tune, (and something more,) among
his friends, and there, as he was led
i to believe, found his destiny in the
person of the beautiful Rachel.
Now Jacob, being an honest,
' straightforward boy sought in and
! through the proper channel to ob
tain the prize and received a pledge
from good old Laban that lbr seven
years' service he should have his re
ward. Well, Jacob, the confiding
lad, pitched in with a will and did
Laban the seven years' good service,
nothing doubting, and Laban, con
gratulates him upon his prospects,
| calls him a good faithful buy and
: fills him up with wine.
When Jacob awakes from his over
dose and feels a little restive under
the deception practised upon him,
Laban, well understanding human
nature and the powers of persuasion
and fair promises, calls him good
boy, good boy; tells him he ought
j to have Rachel—she belongs to him
1 honestly and fairly. Laban is sorry
i it happened so, but it is the custom
of the country. "And now, Jacob,
1 just be easy; you know I meant to do
: right with you but its the custom
; and can't be helped." So Laban re
news the promise and Jacob falls to
with good grace, and Laban prospers,
> grows rich in lands and cattle, for
Jacob, being now a member of the
j
1 household, is incites) to industry and
| manly perseverance.
Again the seven years roll around
I and Jacob haply receives the fulfill
ment of the promise.
Now, just imagine (at the end of
these fourteen years hard service)
Laban saying to Jacob, "now, see
here, Jake, you're a nice fellow and
have done well, nobly; you've helped
me through many a tight pinch and
I've grown wealthy and strong by
your help and I am very thankful—
will always remember you in my
dreams and would be really glad to
let you have Rachel. Rut you've
got Leah, and, see here, just take
this flag; its a nice one and will make
Leah look really nice; and any time
when you want anything just say so
I and I'll give vou a streamer to it
with a great big tassel on the end."
Query.—would Jacob take the
flag without the streamer and tassel?
HARRISON.
THE Altoona Sun, (Democratic.)
pays Judge Gordon, the Republican
candidate for Su feme Judge, the
following compliment: "An original
abolitionist, the prospect of a bloody
civil war had no terrors for him. p o
vided it ended in the destruotio of
the hinn of all villainies.' We speak
of this to his credit, for he was al
ways one of your positive men. There
was no shuffling, or indirection, or
concealment about him. It was the
same on the temperance and on all
other questions of proposed reform,
lie was no half-way man, and no
snearer, nor the wearer of two faces
under one hat. The only question
for him to solve was, would the pro
position serve a good purpose? If
his judgment decided that it would
all he wanted was the power to en
force it, no matter who said nay." j
PEOPLE may talk and w rite as they
please against the habit of early ris
ing, but in the bracing atmosphere
of this season we know of nothing
more invigorating than getting up
at four o'clock in tlie morning and !
going forth with lantern in hand to
meet the rising sun.— Danbury Xcics.
"VIRGINIA for white Virginians" j
—with which the Conservative party j
appeals for popular support in the j
present canvass—is a condensed form i
of protest against the principle of the i
thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth ■
amendments of the Constitution. It |
is a long step backward from their'
Greeley ism of 1872, and their Walk-!
erism of 186U, and a falsification of j
the high and solemn pledges which I
they made to the National Govern-!
meut, the American public and the i
world in those two years.— Richmond
Slate Journal.
ON TIIE mountain toward Miles j
White's from this place, are some of

THE Pottsville (Pa.) Miners' Jour-;
?i/, (Republican,) calls upon the lve-!
publican press to plant the seal of
condemnation upon the third-term
proposition at once, and affirms that I
for one it will not support General
Grant, or any other President, for a
third term.
PARTY re-organization draws a
word from the Hartford Post:
"Eternal re-organization is eternal'
disorganization. Good, square, lion- j
est, hearty work of all the best ele- j
ments is what is most wanted. To |
destroy the Republican party now ,
would be to throw away the'good j
will' and honorable traditions of a j
party that has done a glorious and i
an immortal work, and whose great!
mass is still animated by a generous,
self-sacrificing, patriotic spirit."
CORNELL UNIVERSITY. —Ithaca, N.
Y., Sept. 6, —The Brazilian students
of Cornell University celebrated to
day the fifty-first anniversary of the
independence of their native lands
by a parade through the principal
I streets, with music and a display of
American and Brazilian llags. To
night, after an exhibition of fire
works, they indulged in a grand ban
! quet at Ithaca Hall.

IT IS a good idea of the Universa
